由it引導的強調句型
it 引導的強調句型，通常形式為：It + be +被強調部分+ that/who +句子其他成分。這種強調句由普通陳述句轉換而來，用來強調句子的主語、賓語或狀語。例如：
It was Tom’s mother that / who bought Tom a bicycle on his birthday.
是湯姆的媽媽在湯姆生日那天給他買了輛自行車。
It was yesterday that I met him. 我是昨天見到他的。
在此類強調句中需要注意的是：
1.不管被強調部分是單數還是復數，其前一律用it is / was 而不能用 they are /were
It is the teachers who teach me very well. 這就是教我教得很好的老師。
2.被強調部分指人時，被強調部分可用that /who來指代;被強調部分指物時，被強調部分后只能用that 指代
It is this house that has a beautiful garden. 就是這個房子有一個美麗的花園。
3.強調部分指時間和地點時，被強調部分只能用that 指代，而不能用when, where 等指代
